A chimney sweep will do a comprehensive chimney cleaning to eliminate any type of deposits, residue, creosote, and also blockages from the chimney. Dirty, damaged deteriorating, and blocked chimneys cause injuries as well as fires every year. If you use you fireplace or wood burning stove, the National Fire Protection Association advises having your chimney checked and also swept once a year in order to prevent fires.
A chimney service expert will do a full cleaning of your chimney. Cleaning logs are truly ineffective and are not advised. They will not get all the soot and creosote buildup out of the chimney like hand cleaning.
To begin, a cleaning service technician will shield the inside of your residence by spreading out tarps over the space, floor, and fireplace. They will cover the fire place with vinyl sheets, inserting an commercial vacuum cleaner pipe into the fireplace, and will after that tape and also seal the fireplace. They'll connect extension pipes and run them to the commercial vacuum cleaner with a fine micron filter which rests outside. This will catch the fine residue, creosote, and other dirt later on.
Next, they will brush the entire chimney with hand held brushes, and also brushes with extension rods. Generally they will start on top of the smokeshaft and work downward, carefully cleaning all the surfaces. Your chimney sweep will clean the flue, the damper, the smoke chamber, the smoke shelf, and the firebox.
They will after that peel back a small area of the vinyl sheet and use a range of brushes inside. Following this, everything will be vacuumed as well as cleaned up. The vinyl sheet and tarps will be relocated outside, cleared off and tucked back into their vehicle.

Creosote is a brownish, oily, tar-like compound which develops from burning wood or coal. It starts as a loose, feathery accumulation which in the beginning can be brushed away easily. As it accumulates more, it becomes tar-like, and is harder to get rid of, in some cases needing the use of scrapers to remove it. If left uncleaned, and more layers develop, the creosote hardens.
When a fire is burned in the fireplace or wood stove, the smoke comes to be extremely hot. Solidified creosote can begin to drip and melt like wax. When the build up of creosote is very heavy, it restricts the airflow via the chimney flue. The restricted air circulation causes creosote to accumulate even faster.
Creosote is hazardous in a couple of different ways. It's toxic and dangerous for your health and wellness, and it places your residence at risk of fires.
Creosote accumulation causes lessened airflow and this can allow carbon monoxide to accumulate inside your house while a fire is burning. Carbon monoxide gas is an odorless as well as colorless gas which can cause flu-like symptoms, and can even cause death.
Besides the carbon monoxide gas accumulation, creosote itself is toxic. It could cause irritated skin and eyes, respiratory system issues, and is carcinogenic (cancer causing).
The most dangerous feature of creosote is that it is unbelievably flammable. It's the most typical source of chimney fires. While chimneys are made to stand up to a high degree of heat, the intensity of a chimney fire can swiftly surpass this level.
Getting a chimney sweep done is the very best as well as most effective means to get rid of creosote. Our licensed chimney service companies take wonderful care of your chimney and also your home. We recommend that you get your chimney cleaned and inspected at least annually in order to prevent fires and poisonous build up.
Just how frequently a chimney ought to be cleaned depends of how often you use it as well as what materials you burn inside. Gas burning fireplaces must be examined every year. Although they burn cleaner, dampness, debris, fractures and other concerns can develop which can enable carbon monoxide to enter the residence.
Oil burning flues should be cleaned yearly to keep residue from accumulating.
Because wood burning fireplaces and stoves develop more soot and creosote, they should be swept much more frequently. A great guideline is to have your chimney swept after a cord of wood has been burned within.
